Joe Biden‚ the “devout” Catholic who resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue‚ issued a proclamation on Good Friday‚ the day Christians remember Jesus’ death on the cross before his Resurrection three days later on Easter Sunday. Biden chose Good Friday to publicly announce that he would designate the following Sunday as an important day in American life. The day would commemorate the dying of an old self and the beginning of a new kind of identity. Yet this religious quasi-resurrection did not involve Jesus‚ but people who claim that their “gender identity” overrides their biological sex. Biden did not mark Good Friday or Easter Sunday in his proclamation‚ rather he marked “Transgender Day of Visibility.“ “Transgender Americans are part of the fabric of our Nation‚” Biden declared. “They deserve‚ and are entitled to‚ the same rights and freedoms as every other American‚ including the most fundamental freedom to be their true selves.” Of course‚ Biden did not admit that this freedom for transgender people “to be their true selves” amounts to stifling everyone else’s freedom to call a spade a spade‚ along with parents’ freedom to protect their children from an ideology that will leave them stunted‚ scarred‚ and infertile. Indeed‚ Biden took the opportunity to condemn those who dare dissent from the orthodoxy of his new state religion. “But extremists are proposing hundreds of hateful laws that target and terrify transgender kids and their families—silencing teachers; banning books; and even threatening parents‚ doctors‚ and nurses with prison for helping parents get care for their children‚” the president said in the proclamation. Note the subversion: Parents are not trying to silence teachers or ban books; they’re fighting to get pornographic materials out of school libraries and to protect their children from the lie that a boy can become a girl and vice versa. Biden calls these efforts “hateful‚” but he describes life-altering drugs that put kids on a path to permanently mutilating their bodies as “care.” It’s no accident that Biden—or whoever drafted this proclamation for him—left any mention of Good Friday or Easter out of the proclamation. His statements in that document operate out of an entirely different worldview than that of traditional Christianity. Christianity preaches the gospel: that all of us are sinful and need redemption‚ that Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty and reconcile us to God‚ and that he rose from the dead to show his divinity and to give us hope for our ultimate resurrection. The Catholic Church to which Biden belongs preaches this gospel. Yet gender ideology promises its own weaker version of the gospel: that society is sinful and needs to repent of hating transgender people‚ that people who identify as transgender can reject their biological sex and be accepted for “who they are” in the gender identity opposite their sex‚ and that “gender-affirming care” and societal acceptance will give transgender people the well-being they deserve. Demonizing and silencing opponents is a fundamental part of this project‚ because the transgender gospel calls on all society not just to accept transgender identity but to celebrate it. Traditional Christianity poses a problem for this because the Bible teaches that God made humans male and female‚ and neither the scriptures nor Catholic tradition condones the idea that a person can reject his or her biological sex and become a member of the opposite sex. For these and other reasons‚ Republicans attacked Biden’s proclamation on Good Friday. House Speaker Mike Johnson‚ R-La.‚ said the White House “betrayed the central tenet of Easter—which is the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.” “Banning sacred truth and tradition—while at the same time proclaiming Easter Sunday as ‘Transgender Day’—is outrageous and abhorrent‚” Johnson said‚ referring to a ban on religious art during the traditional White House Easter Egg Roll. (Both the White House and an organization involved in the Easter event that banned religious imagery said the rules prohibiting religious imagery at the White House Easter Egg Roll go back decades.) The Biden White House has betrayed the central tenet of Easter — which is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Banning sacred truth and tradition—while at the same time proclaiming Easter Sunday as “Transgender Day”—is outrageous and abhorrent. The American people are taking note. pic.twitter.com/ZCExyVkAVS— Speaker Mike Johnson (@SpeakerJohnson) March 30‚ 2024 “This is what Biden cares about and who he caters to‚” Sen. Ted Cruz‚ R-Texas‚ posted on X with a screenshot of the president’s proclamation. “He is devaluing Easter and elevating trans recognition. Downright shameful and despicable.” This is what Biden cares about and who he caters to. He is devaluing Easter and elevating trans recognition.Downright shameful and despicable. pic.twitter.com/UgFBnvKZ82— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) March 30‚ 2024 “We call on Joe Biden’s failing campaign and White House to issue an apology to the millions of Catholics and Christians across America who believe tomorrow is for one celebration only—the resurrection of Jesus Christ‚” Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a written statement Saturday. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre sought to dispel “misinformation” about the proclamation. She noted that Easter Sunday “happened to coincide with Transgender Visibility Day.” Biden has commemorated Transgender Day of Visibility on March 31 since 2021‚ Jean-Pierre said‚ while the date of Easter Sunday varies each year according to a lunar calendar. “As a Christian who celebrates Easter with family‚ President Biden stands for bringing people together and upholding the dignity and freedoms of every American‚” she added.

According to Jacqui Heinrich‚ a White House correspondent for Fox News‚ another reporter asked Biden: “Speaker Johnson called it outrageous that Easter Sunday was Transgender Day of Visibility‚ what do you say to Speaker Johnson?” “He’s thoroughly uninformed‚” Biden responded. “Uninformed how?” the reporter asked. “I didn’t do that‚” Biden replied. via the pool: Q: Speaker Johnson called it outrageous that Easter Sunday was transgender day of visibility‚ what do you say to Speaker Johnson?Biden: “He’s thoroughly uninformed.”Q: Uninformed how?Biden: “I didn’t do that.”^may be a reference to Transgender Day of…— Jacqui Heinrich (@JacquiHeinrich) April 1‚ 2024 Johnson responded by posting a screenshot of Biden’s proclamation and asking‚ “This you‚ Joe Biden?” Biden has marked Transgender Day of Visibility each year since 2021‚ but that doesn’t excuse his decision to issue his proclamation for it on Good Friday without noting either Good Friday or Easter Sunday in the proclamation. Despite Jean-Pierre’s insistence that Biden can celebrate Transgender Day of Visibility and Easter on the same day‚ the unfortunate timing of Biden’s proclamation only highlighted the inherent tension between transgender orthodoxy and traditional Christianity. The president’s own proclamation also included condemnations of the Christians who refuse to celebrate transgender identity‚ as if their opposition were rooted in “hate.” The true scandal isn’t that the transgender holiday happened to line up with Easter‚ but that the White House is trumpeting the pseudo-religious holiday in the first place and using it as an excuse to demonize those who disagree. The coincidental timing only emphasizes how Biden is dividing Americans on this issue‚ drawing attention to something Christians should have been following for years. This transgender activist revealed the pride at the heart of transgender ideology: the idea that humans know better than God. I think few things are as important as honoring God during Holy Week.

Three trim levels will be available‚ as well as more than 100 dedicated accessories.  Headlining the new platform is the high-performance 101 Scout‚ seen here facing a 1920s 101 Scout.

Its bore goes up from 99m to 104mm‚ while its stroke remains at 73.6mm. Power goes up to 105 ponies and 82 lb-ft of torque‚ and the 101 Scout gets a bump to 111 hp.   The new Scouts feature an all-new 1‚250cc V-Twin that pumps out as much as 111 hp.

To achieve this‚ it all started with the steel-tube frame and all-new V-Twin engine.”  The Super Scout is a light-duty touring machine equipped with a detachable windshield and saddlebags. Indian says the Scout’s 25.6-inch seat height is the lowest in class. There are also new features and technology offered on certain Scout models and trim packages. All models except for the 101 Scout use a single 298mm front disc brake with a 2-piston caliper‚ and ABS is standard.   2025 Indian Scout Bobber in Nara Bronze Metallic with the Limited +Tech trim “As our top-selling platform‚ Scout has long been a staple in our lineup‚” said Mike Dougherty‚ president of Indian Motorcycle. “We’re excited to take it to the next level and continue its evolution with a robust offering of models to meet the diverse needs of our global riding community.”  2025 Indian Scout Models The Scout Bobber is the cheapest way to get into the Scout lineup‚ with prices starting at $12‚999.

We’ll have to wait to find out what their curb weights are when their diminutive 3.4-gallon fuel tanks are full.   The Sport Scout is thematically similar to the former Scout Rogue. It’s pictured here with saddlebags that are part of a robust line of accessories from Indian.

The Kennedy campaign has launched a robust ballot access plan to ensure the Kennedy-Shanahan ticket is on the ballot in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The campaign was already actively collecting signatures in 16 states before announcing a vice president. After the announcement‚ 19 additional states opened for petitioning. “We have the field teams‚ volunteers‚ legal teams‚ paid circulators‚ supporters‚ and strategists ready to get the job done‚” said Stefanie Spear‚ campaign press secretary. Last week‚ Kennedy welcomed attorney and tech entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan to the campaign as his vice presidential running mate at a packed rally in Oakland‚ California.

After Kennedy Jr. announced Shanahan as his running mate‚ Trump took to Truth Social to share that he loved Kennedy Jr.’s candidacy‚ declaring him “Crooked Joe Biden’s Political Opponent‚ not mine.” He also dubbed Kennedy Jr. “the most Radical Left Candidate in the race.” “RFK Jr. is the most Radical Left Candidate in the race‚ by far. He’s a big fan of the Green New Scam‚ and other economy killing disasters. I guess this would mean he is going to be taking votes from Crooked Joe Biden‚ which would be a great service to America. His running mate‚ Nicole Shanahan‚ is even more ‘Liberal’ than him‚ if that’s possible. Kennedy is a Radical Left Democrat‚ and always will be!!!” Trump said on Truth Social. “It’s great for MAGA‚ but the Communists will make it very hard for him to get on the Ballot.

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee‚ a Democrat‚ signed legislation that requires gun owners report theft of firearms within 24 hours or be fined up to $1‚000. “The new law will require Washington gun owners to notify the police of a stolen firearm within 24 hours of when they discover the theft or loss – or face a $1‚000 fine‚” KATU News noted. Several gun rights organizations criticized the bill‚ saying it unfairly targets law-abiding gun owners. “We’re talking about somebody who has already suffered a crime‚ a felony crime‚ and now he’s facing a potential fine‚” Dave Workman of the Second Amendment Foundation said.

As part of HB 1903‚ gun owners who fail to report stolen firearms within a 24 hour period would face up to a $1‚000 civil infraction fine. It would also require law enforcement agencies to register stolen firearm reports with the FBI’s National Crime Information Center‚ which is used by police to pursue suspects and locate stolen items. Up until the bill’s signing‚ the deadline to report a lost or stolen firearm has been five days. Proponents of the law‚ such as the gun control group Moms Demand Action along with King County Public Health‚ testified that it frustrates the ability of law enforcement to protect the community when firearms are not reported as stolen in an adequate amount of time. “This bill would enable law enforcement to track and recover stolen firearms faster before they resurface in incidents traumatizing our families and communities‚” said Karyn Brownson‚ King County Public Health. Prior to the bill’s signing‚ several gun rights organizations‚ such as the National Rifle Association and the Washington Civil Rights Association‚ spoke out against the measure saying the law would unfairly target people who are already victims of a crime.

The report must include‚ to the extent known: the firearm’s caliber‚ make‚ model‚ manufacturer‚ and serial number; any other distinguishing number or identification mark on the firearm; and the circumstances of the loss or theft‚ including the date‚ place‚ and manner. “A law enforcement agency that receives a report of a lost or stolen firearm must enter the firearm’s caliber‚ make‚ model‚ manufacturer‚ and serial number and any other distinguishing number or identification mark on the firearm‚ to the extent known‚ into the National Crime Information Center database.

Jay Inslee signed into law several bills on Tuesday‚ adding to Washington’s growing heap of gun restrictions. https://t.co/bTrmttmLyv — The Seattle Times (@seattletimes) March 26‚ 2024 From The Seattle Times: Gov. Jay Inslee signed into law several bills on Tuesday‚ adding to Washington’s growing heap of gun restrictions. At a brief signing ceremony with supporters at the state Capitol‚ Inslee approved legislation imposing new safety and reporting requirements for gun dealers and owners‚ as well as law enforcement agencies. Among the measures signed: House Bill 2118‚ which requires gun dealers to run annual background checks on employees and maintain alarm systems and 24-hour video surveillance and other security measures. Dealers also must respond quickly to law enforcement queries and carry general liability insurance covering $1 million per incident. House Bill 1903 requires gun owners to report lost or stolen guns to law enforcement within 24 hours of when they discover the theft or loss — compared with a current deadline of five days. Senate Bill 5444 prohibits people from carrying firearms in public libraries‚ zoos‚ aquariums and transit facilities‚ unless they have concealed-carry permits. House Bill 2021 allows the Washington State Patrol to destroy firearms it has confiscated and requires police and sheriff’s offices to destroy most guns obtained through gun-buyback programs. Inslee also signed a bill clarifying that people declared incompetent to stand trial on felony criminal charges cannot possess guns‚ and a bill clarifying that the State Patrol is responsible for all background checks of gun buyers. The package signed by Inslee on Tuesday builds on last year’s major swath of gun laws passed by the Democratic majority Legislature‚ including a ban on AR-15s and dozens of other semi-automatic rifles and a 10-day waiting period for firearm purchases.
